INGRAM'S OLD FASHION SUGAR COOKIES
This is a recipe from my grandmother's kitchen. My mother has made these for Christmas every year since I was a child (over 30 years now) and every person that has tried these think that are delicious! Icing the cookies is a family tradition and is one that is fun and can take some time so be sure to set a couple hours aside to do so. Although it can take time to icing these cookies it'll be well worth the work in taste and family fun. Enjoy!

- Separate icing into small bowls and add 3-4 drops of food coloring per bowl.
